How does the max file size limitation works?means if I want to take a back up of the existing log file and create a new one after the size exceeds say 100 kb.
Please suggest.

its a useful post…

Benjamin , I have a doubt ..

I was using log4j for my application logging.it was working fine.
But recently I checked , it was not creating the index files for the log.
the setting were as max size = 40 mb with 100 index files.
the same file was being overwritten.
but when i changed the file name, it created the index files.

what could be the reason for this strange behaviour…?

This is quite clear. However, I am trying to set the log file location based on the value of an environment variable. So my log4j.properties file has an entry like:

log4j.appender.Default.File=${MYAPP_HOME}/log/myapp.log

Even though MYAPP_HOME is set, the result is log4j looks for a log file in /log/myapp.log

It can not find this and so it throws an exception.

Do you have any suggestions?
